Lovesick

~Light's POV~

The past was a puzzle to me. Despite L not primarily suspecting me anymore, I felt lost- my memories about the past few months were completely blurred. I was not Kira, but why could I hardly remember anything? Misa did not know anything either, and if it could not get any worse, L was as demotivated as he had never been before, strongly hindering the investigation.

"Why are you lacking such energy right now?", I asked.

"I already told you. We have been obliged to start the investigation all over again. Yes, that depresses me."

"What about ~? Didn't you want to watch her?"

"I am watching her. We only installed cameras outside the building of her mission though. I have started to worry."

"You should call her."

L nodded, picking up his phone with his fingertips before dialing her number.
"~, it's L."

"Oh Ryuzaki, you shouldn't call me, it might be too unsafe! Who knows, Kira might even be listening!"

"Not directly, it's alright. How are you getting ahead?"

"Well, actually. I should be back in just a few hours."

"Take care, then. Please..."

"I will, see you later!"

L's expression immediately dropped again.

"Ryuzaki, why are you looking so sad? It's not just the case, you were fine talking to her.
Wait, don't tell me that you...?"

"I'm only human", L interrupted me sadly.
"So yes, I believe I am actually... weak for her. That is definitely a problem. Emotions shouldn't ever get in the way of an investigation."

"But feeling depressed is alright?"

L tilted his head.
"Hm... maybe if it is a positive emotion, it won't be such a hindrance, but... I cannot bear to get a weakness. People should not get too dependent on each other. But why am I even thinking so far... she would never love me..."

"Why are you thinking that?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm way out of her league", the detective pouted with hanging shoulders.

"Talking like that doesn't seem like you at all, Ryuzaki! You're the world's greatest detective! You shouldn't worry so much about your tired appearance!"
I immediately continued when L gave me a both sad and offended look.
"...and by that I am just referring to the societally inherent senses of beauty. But she definitely does not think superficially like that. She cares a lot about intellect. Besides, I doubt she finds you unattractive. So cheer up!"

L's eyes suddenly widened with hope.
"Do you think so?"

"Yes, haven't you seen the way she looks at you?", I encouraged him as I placed a hand on his shoulder. "You should have the courage and talk to her!"

~Reader's POV~

Ring. Ring.

Huh? Is L calling me again? Oh no, Light, I realised as I saw his number light up on my phone screen.

"I shall come to L's room when I'm done? Why isn't he downstairs, did anything happen?" I started to get really worried.
As I finally reached the headquarters and entered his room, I could see both L and Light sit on one of the sofas although Light jumped up quickly after noticing me.

"Alright, ~ is here! You can talk to her now!" Light smirked at me as he passed me to leave the room. Perplexed, I followed his steps until he closed the door behind him. I turned around.

"Ryuzaki, what is wrong?" I could see him scratch his head over my shoulder. Not standing the silence, I repeated my question. "L, please tell me what is wrong!" Still nothing.

Oh no. I know what it might be.
I know it.
He is going to fire me.

"L, please don't!", I begged him.

Now L was the one to look confused.
"Don't what?"

"Don't fire me please! I know I make some mistakes sometimes, but-"

"Listen, ~, I am never going to fire you", L said in a dark voice as he stood up and approached me. His state had changed completely - from one second to another, L had suddenly become very serious.

Relief took a weight off my shoulders but I tilted my head. "Then what do you have to tell me?"

L began to blush as he looked away.

"I know you are always being secretive, but you can tell me anything!", I smiled at him. L scratched his head again, his breath was steadily getting heavier.

"L?", I teased as I approached him and placed my hand on his chest. My eyes widened. "Your heart is going fast like crazy!"

"I...uh...", L started stuttering. "I... just wanted to ask you... what I wanted to ask you was... will you... will you go out with me..?"

GO OUT?! Does he mean it in that way?
I never thought he could actually return my feelings, but what if it would all go wrong? We might not be able to stand working together anymore!
Then again, if L really returns my feelings, I will be the happiest person in the world. I had been in love with him for so long...

I stared at his nervous face in silence and blushed as he continued in a little voice.

"The truth is that I... I, well... I seem to have feelings for you..."

"I like you too, L. You cute, adorable, shy detective",  I giggled.

"You do?"

"Oh yes. And that is why I accept", I hummed as I placed a quick kiss on his cheek.

Without another sentence, I turned around on my heels with a smile on my face. Arriving at the door, I threw a last glance back over my shoulder to look at his cute baffled face again.

"Love looks so sweet on you."
